Clemsons Georgia Tech Rematch Just Took On A Very Different Feel

Clemson gears up to face a struggling Georgia Tech in a crucial ACC home game with high stakes for potential redemption from last year's upset.

Clemson’s final ACC home game now has a start time and a TV home.

The Tigers will host Georgia Tech on Nov. 14 at 12:30 p.m., with The CW carrying the game, the ACC announced Monday.

Clemson enters that matchup at 5-3 overall and 3-2 in the league after Saturday’s 36-24 win at Florida State. Dabo Swinney’s team still has three conference games left on the schedule.

Georgia Tech, meanwhile, is coming off a very different kind of season from the one it had against Clemson a year ago. The Yellow Jackets stunned then-No.

12 Clemson 24-21 in Atlanta last year on a walk-off field goal, but Brent Key’s team has stumbled to a 2-6 mark and 1-4 in ACC play. Georgia Tech has to win out to get to a bowl game.

ESPN’s analytics give Clemson an 83% chance to beat Georgia Tech.

Before that home date, Clemson goes to Syracuse on Saturday. The Tigers are favored by 1.5 points in that game. Georgia Tech will be at home against Louisville and is a 14.5-point underdog.

Clemson’s 2026 schedule, with known channels and kickoff times, now includes a noon start at Syracuse on Nov. 7 on ESPN2, a 7:30 p.m. Friday night trip to Duke on Nov. 20 on ESPN, and a Nov. 28 home game against No. 23 South Carolina.

The full schedule to this point: Sept. 5: at No. 11 LSU, L 51-10

Sept. 12: vs. Georgia Southern, W 22-7

Sept. 19: vs. UNC, W 28-20

Florida States Coaching Search Just Took A Notable Turn

Florida States coaching search has already become one of the more closely watched storylines in the sport after the Seminoles moved on from Mike Norvell following seven seasons. Rick Stockstill has been handed the interim job, and the timing of the change says plenty about how quickly the school wants to reset after a tenure that ended with a 41-39 record and just 10 wins over the past three years.

One name that surfaced almost immediately was Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz, but he quickly shut that down and said his attention is on the Tigers upcoming game against Texas. For Clemson fans, it is another reminder that the ACCs power structure could be shifting again, with Florida State now trying to chart its next move while the search begins to take shape around the country.

Clemson Is Saying Goodbye To Armon Mason Under Tough Circumstances

Armon Masons Clemson career is ending the hard way, with the veteran defensive end announcing his medical retirement from football after a run of injuries that kept interrupting what had once looked like a promising path. A sixth-year player and the son of late NBA standout Anthony Mason, he had already missed two of the past three seasons, a frustrating stretch that made it increasingly difficult to get any real momentum on the field.

Mason still plans to stay with the Tigers through Senior Day before stepping away from the sport for good, giving Clemson one more chance to recognize a player who battled through far more than most. For a program that has watched him fight to keep coming back, his exit is as much about resilience as it is about the injuries that ultimately forced the decision. [Read more 🡒]

Clemsons Syracuse Test Just Got Tougher Than Fans Expected

Clemsons trip to Syracuse was already shaping up as a tricky ACC road test, and Dabo Swinneys latest injury update only adds to the challenge. The Tigers are dealing with several key absences up front and on defense, with guard Elyjah Thurmon and center Harris Sewell both set to miss time, the latter needing minor surgery. True freshman Grant Wise is now in line to start at center, a significant adjustment for a unit trying to hold together in a tough spot on the schedule.

The changes do not stop there. Starting running back Gideon Davidson is expected to sit out the upcoming game, which pushes Jarvis Green into the lead role in the backfield, while linebacker Kobe McCloud is also unavailable and will open more snaps for Fletcher Cothran. For Clemson, the concern is not just who is out, but how quickly the replacements can settle in against a Syracuse team that figures to test the Tigers depth in a hurry. [Read more 🡒]
